A collection of new photographs and archive images of skies manipulated to appear uncannily blue, flawless and imply a positive future. The images are printed using inks that slowly degrade when subjected to sunlight and purposely fade over time suggesting that optimism is a valuable yet fragile state of mind.
Working with the London Metropolitan Police Safer Neighbourhoods Team selected works were developed for display outside Police stations across East London.
